High Commissioner Sir Edward Gent placed that region and three other rich rubber-producing areas of the peninsula under a state of emergency, giving local cMicials drastic police powers to combat what he described as a serious state "as of lawlessness. His action came shortly after Chigese gunmen killed three Brit- ish planters at Sungei Seiput in | Northwestern 'Malaya. Two yromi- | nent Chinese also were slain in Malaya, bringing the Wednesday toll to five.

Just before he left, wrote to Premier Mahmoud Fahmy promising the military |to what took effect. In Tel Aviv, the United Nations mediator intends to ask Israeli au- consultants to his headquarters on Rhodes. He said the Arabs have promised to send four experts there next Monday. Abdel Rahman Azzam Pasha, sec- retary of the league, emphasized that the experts will not represent Arab countries, but merely will sup- ply Bernadotte with data and documents he may need. Bernadotte pointed out that send- ing of experts to Rhodes does not mean there will be a roundtable conference attended by both, Jews and Arabs. The Arabs already have turned down any such talks. The Israeli government in Tel Aviv, meanwhile, accused Britain of diverting fuel oil to Arab gtates by shutting off the pipeline from Arab countries to Haifa. In a statement condemning the pipeline shutdown, the Foreign Of- fice said the Israeli government "is becoming more and more convinced that what is a noe not just a commercial readjustment, but definite part and parcel of a | scheme to intervene, to put it mild- | yl, in the Jewish war effort and [to load the dice against us." | In Jerusalem an official Jewish source said Wednesday night that movement of the official United Nations food convoy toward Jerusa- lem has been delayed, "owing to inaccurate information given by the Arab Legion to the Truce Com- mission." In Amman, capital of Trans- Jordan, Jean Courvoisier, Inter- national Red Cross representative, said Wednesday night that 1,700 Arab women and children will be released tomorrow from Jewish cus- tody.

J ohnston Will Head Up Chest Drive Impetus to the plans for the an- nual Oshawa Community Chest campaign, to be held in October, was given with the announcement at a meeting of the executive yes- terday that Lt.-Col. Murray P: John:ton had consented to act as campaign chairman. Lt.-Col. John- ston.was authorized to proceed with plans for the campaign and to nom- inate his own ~ommittee. The meeting decided to set up an advisory committee composed of some 50 to 75 persons which would be representative of various groups and organizations. This committee, it is felt, would do much to increase interest in the Community Chest and serve to bring about a closer liaison between the executive and all sections of the community. The | advisory committee would also serve | as a medium for the development of | ideas which would be submitted to the executive. Would Publicize Activities In order to promote interest in the Community ~hest through pub- | licity of the activities which its grants make possible, it was decided | to request the organizations which receive donations from. the fund to | submit reports' every six months | of the progress of their work. | On the recommendation of the HEADS UP DRIVE (Continued on Page 2) IN SERIOUS CONDITION Sturgeon Falls, June 17 -- (CP)-- Aldege Gauthier driver of a jeep which crashed off a 'bush road Wednesday night in the Grassy Lake region, is in serious condition in hospital here.

Carmel, Pa., June 17--(AP)--A United Airlines plane crashed in flames near this anthracite area town today. Forty-one persons were believed killed. U.A.L. headquarters in New York said the plane apparently was flight 624, bound from San Diego to New York with 37 passengers and four crew members aboard. Ed Darling- ton of radio station WONR at nearby Bloomsburg said "there was no sign of life and apparently everybody was killed." Darlington said the: plane crashed into a trans- former on a high tension wire. A clock at the Midvalley colliery of the Jeddo-Highland Coal Company stopped, its wires cut by the crackup. The plane's logbook, found near the scene of the crash in a thickly-wooded area, identified the plane's pilot as Captain George Warner of Chicago. The stew- ardess was listed as Lorena Berg, address not known. Darlington said reports from eyewitnesses said "there were between 35 and 40 bodies strewn all over the . place." State police were unable to get close enough to the wreckage to determine the number of casualties. (The Civil Aeronautics Administration at Washing- ton said there were no survivors). Hope to Salvage Crashed Vampire At 120-Foot Depth Trenton, June 17--An R.C.A.F. Lancaster is expected here this afternoon carrying a Royal Canadian Navy diving squad from Halifax. The divers are expected to take part in salvaging a Vampire jet fighter from Trenton air station which crashed in Lake Ontario a mile off Bowmanville yesterday. Whether the divers will be used in the salvage opera- tions, or whether drags will be used, will depend on just where the wreckage is located. According to charts, the area in which the jet, piloted by Sqdn. Ldr. S. Y. Broadbent of St, Thomas, crashed, has a depth of 120 feet. Salvagers are not certain of the® exact position of the wreck a sthe first boatload of civilians to go out to the scene, neglected to mark the | spot. Bits of wreckage Iound in the lake and identified as parts of a Vampire indicate the general area of the fatal plunge. Identification | of the bits of wreckage was made by Wing Cmdr. F. Sharp. Body of the pilot has not been recovered and it is assumed that it is trapped in the wreckage. The Navy diving party from Hali- fax are all well experienced in salvage operations. The party is in charge of CPO John Brown of Halifax. CPO Bert Duke of Halifax and LS. Carl Vaninderstine of Montague, P.EI, are the other divers. Assisting them will be Pat- rick O'Neil of Gananoque. At Trenton air station it was announced that salvage operations had been put in charge of No. ¢ Repair Depot, Trenton, under the command of Group Captain G. G. Truscott. "Until the depth of the water is definitely decided, it is not known whether diving or dragging opera- tions will be carried out," officials said. Surface vessels are still checking the general area of the crash. The approximate location has been de- termined by information supplied by L. J. Brock and his son Reg, who while working on their farm in the south section of Bowmanville saw a silver plane spinning down info the lake at a terrific speed. The plane hit the water about a mile off shore and disappeared with a huge splash. Mr. Brock immediately tele- phoned police' who notified Trenton air station and sent out search boats. Seven Firemen Hurt in $200,000 Toronto Blaze Toronto, June 17 (CP).--Thirty« eight families were driven from two north-central apartment buildings today by a $200,000 fire that gutted the adjacent Farmers' Market Building and a garage, and dame aged several other business pre= mises. Seven firemen suffered cuts from flying glass while fighting the blaze which delayed thousands of downs town office workers on their way to work. Two automobiles were destroyed in a garage at the rear of the building. More than a dozen other automobiles were wheeled out Hundreds of passers-by jammed streets as the roof of the building collapsed and flames and yellow smoke shot high in the air. The fire is believed to have started with an explosion in the garage. Two hours after the fire began, firemen had the blaze under con= trol for a time. Fires broke out anew, however, in the ruins of a large second-storey bowling alley and squads of firemen continued to fight the blaze. Firemen were warned on their arrival that there were 60 gallons of highly inflammable liquid polish in the back of the bowling alley. A special squad of firemen forced their way through the flames and smoke to the storage room and carried the cans of polish to safety, Fire department officials said that if the fire had reached the cans, the whole city block would have been destroyed. % LATE NEWS BRIEFS % LIFT TRAVEL BAN IN NORTH Toronto, June 17--(CP)--Travel restriction will be lifted tomorrow in five Northern Ontario fire areas, the Lands and Forests Department announced today.
